Ruud Products & Why We Recommend Them

Purchasing a new air conditioner for your home is a substantial investment. Not every brand is equal, as you will want to choose an air conditioner that will last for many years. One of the best options to consider is Ruud Air Conditioning due to its wide range of benefits. Reaching out to a trusted installer is also essential that the technician installs the unit correctly and that your air conditioning system will last for a very long time.

Here are a few of the top reasons we recommend Ruud Air Conditioning systems for homeowners or businesses.

Dependability – One of the most significant advantages of using a Ruud Air Conditioning system is its dependability. These air conditioners are designed to withstand the test of time while keeping your home comfortable during the summer months. These air conditioners’ above-average lifespan is just one more reason why these products are an excellent long-term investment.

State-of-the-Art Equipment – Another reason to consider using Ruud Air Conditioning is its state-of-the-art equipment. Ruud is never satisfied with the status quo but always looks at ways to improve its existing products. A focus on innovation is one of the main reasons Ruud is one of the top brands in air conditioning. Ruud has also invested more than $100 million in state-of-the-art facilities to keep producing high-level products.

Extensive Testing Process – Testing each system beyond industry requirements is one of the top reasons why Ruud Air Conditioning is such a dependable product. All of this durability results from thousands of hours of testing in extreme environmental conditions, whether it’s freezing rain, snow, salt spray, or temperatures between -20°F to over 130°F. 

Earn Trust of Contractors – Ruud Air Conditioning continues to earn contractors’ trust across the nation due to its dependable, high-quality, and durable products. Exclusive contractor training resources are also available to ensure proper installation for all Ruud products.

Choosing Between an Electrical or Gas Furnace

When it comes to choosing the right furnace for your home, you’ll likely either have to make up your mind between an electrical or gas furnace. However, often, this can be easier said than done without knowing the facts. That’s why the Melton Heating and Air Conditioning team has gathered some of the most important things to consider for you here.

Below you’ll find everything you need to determine what type of furnace, electric or gas, is right for you!

Electrical Furnace PROs & CONs

One of the foremost advantages to installing an electric furnace over a gas model is that they’re much cheaper and can also last quite a long time, up to 30 years in some cases. They also require minimal maintenance. However, there are a few important things to note regarding electrical furnaces, the first being that they can cost more to operate over the long run, making your electrical bill spike.

Additionally, electrical furnaces also put out drier air than gas furnaces, which some may find unpleasant, especially those who suffer from allergies and respiratory issues. Lastly, if your power goes out, so does your electrical furnace.

Gas Furnace PROs & CONs 

As mentioned above, electrical furnaces can be a drain on energy costs. However, where gas furnaces are concerned, they can be extremely efficient. Not only is natural gas clean and affordable, but it can also cost upwards of 70 percent less each month than electric furnaces, meaning you’ll save a bundle on energy costs. Gas furnaces produce warmer air much more quickly, a big plus during those colder months.

There are some downsides, however, to gas furnaces. They emit carbon monoxide, which can affect the air quality in your home and cause the need for carbon monoxide detectors to ensure any leaks are dealt with ASAP. They also don’t usually last as long as electric furnaces, requiring replacement about every 15 years.

Hybrid Furnaces

Nowadays, those who can’t decide between a gas or electrical furnace needn’t worry, as there are also hybrid options that offer the best of both worlds.

The Health Benefits of Having a Fireplace

There’s nothing quite like kicking off your shoes after a long day at the office or running errands and doing chores at home and plopping down in front of a warm, toasty fire. A warm hearth is especially welcomed during the colder months when being out and about can be a drain on your energy. That’s why the Melton Heating and Air Conditioning team is excited to share some of the physical and mental health benefits of owning a fireplace.

As one of the area’s leading heating and cooling experts, we know how vital remaining comfortable in your home can be, so we’ve gathered some great reasons below to consider installing your very own fireplace.

Fireplaces Help Reduce Blood Pressure 

Those with high blood pressure or people who often find it hard to wind down after a long day will be happy to learn that fireplaces help reduce blood pressure. Studies have shown that a fire will calm you and lower blood pressure, helping to improve relaxation. It’s no secret that along with relaxation and reduced blood pressure comes a host of other benefits, like reduced risk of kidney and heart disease, lowered risk of stroke, and reduced eye damage due to high blood pressure.

They’re Trance-Inducing & Make Great Meditation Tools 

Since the advent of fire itself, people have been using the flames as a tool to induce a trancelike relaxation. Watching the flames dance help take you to a more relaxed place, and all of your stress and daily troubles will melt away.

Fireplaces Help Empty Your Mind

Lastly, but certainly not least, having a fireplace can help empty your mind and make it easier for you to get to sleep at night. Distractions from your busy day can disappear, and you’ll be able to handle anxieties you have about the past day or the one to come.
